Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear Lyrics






I guess I'd have to say this album is
dedicated to you.
Although perhaps you may not be happy,
this is what you want,
so I conceded.
I hope it makes you happy.
There's a lot of truth in it, babe.

I don't think I'll have many regrets, baby.
Things didn't have to be the way they was, baby.
You don't have the right to use the son of mine
to keep me in line.
One thing I can't do without
is the boy whom God gave to both of us.
I'm so happy, oh, for the son of mine.

So here it is, babe.
I hope you enjoy, reminisce, be happy,
think about the kisses and the joy.
But there were those other moments too,
the times that were cloudy and grey.
Bad.
But you taught me that was life.
May love ever protect you,
may peace come into your life.
Always think of me the way I was.
Ha, I was your baby.

This is what you wanted.
Here, dear, here it is.
Here, my dear, here it is.

  10. A.... M....

    you know Marvin was known for and could those high notes with ease and grace, but for some reason when he starts singing in that middle-low register on here, it always gives me chills.

  28. C.... T....

    This album is truly underrated,the best I've heard from him,truly emotional,out fucking standing,the best.

  29. M.... C....

    "I guess I have to say that this album is dedicated to you" I love that part. Marvin sung his soul out on this one. Said, "You don't have to use a son of mine to keep me in line." This album reminds me of my parents when I was a little girl. I'm 43 years old now and every time I play this at home I think of my father. R.I.P Willie James Patterson. I truly miss you so much. Listening to this album is such a joy for me!

  30. S.... M....

    This album, especially this song, got me through a nasty divorce. Marvin was amazing.

  31. T.... H....

    I don't think I have any regrets baby......yes

  34. B.... B....

  35. P.... J....

    This album was Marvins' settlement in his divorce from his wife Anna Gordie, sister of Motown records owner, Barry Gordie. Agreement was Marvin would record 2 records with Anna receiving all processes. Hence name of double album titled, "Here My Dear". The whole album was about their marriage/relationship. Album didn't get play it reserved, b-c ex wife Anna had it shelved "Cold Blooded", yet beautiful.

    P.... J....

    We know.

    P.... J....

  41. R.... G....

    Thank you very much for this video!!!

  42. D.... S....

    I listened to this when me and my wife got divorced in 2013.

  43. T.... T....

    Beautiful Song, One of the Greatest!

  44. S.... P....

    Who Brad Pitt ???

  45. g.... k....

    If you look at Billboard top 500 albums of all time whats going on is rightfully number 6, that is the only one you would recognize in the top 10. I am an old school soul man, I don`t have a problem with the beach boys and the beatles they are legends but how in the #*&% you gone put Bob F Dylan in front of Marvin? Here my dear is some of his best work as well.

    g.... k....

    it’s white media, they will always bloat their insanely overrated artist ahead of ours. beach boys and beatles shouldn’t be at the top either. we’re the greatest of all time because we’re the most influential. the black community wasn’t listenin to the beach boys or the beatles. black artist had far and away more white fans than white artist had black fans. the fact that they call bob dylan great is nothing but a great travesty, he shouldn’t be on any music list period!

  46. J.... C....

    respect To Mr.Marvin Gaye And Any One Dont Like Marvin Music Fuck U And Go Kill Ur Self

  47. E.... C....

    I love this song he is so hurt r.I.ps

  48. M.... B....

    Marvin was a master and I loved him. I met him in 1964 at Leos' Casino in Cleveland Ohio. My dad worked there and got me tickets. I went back to his dressing room, as did everyone who wanted to get an autograph &/ or a pic with him. When it was my turn, he asked me to sit on his knee to pose for the photo, I did and he asked for my #, quietly whispering in my ear. Yes I gave it to him and we did communicate for a few years. He told me that it was so refreshing to see such a lovely. sweet face full of innocence. I never understood what he meant by that remark. Oh well, I had some ideas later of course. We remained friends for some years. What a wonderful man and the most amazing talent ever, Period !!!!!!!!! Lucky to have met him.

  49. V.... ....

    the tone was a little darker than we were use to, but good album

  50. S.... P....

    he went through a lot From His First wife

  51. S.... P....

    Truly for those who have gone through messed up Divorces

    S.... P....

    Sheryl Pugh going through mine . I’m grateful it’s not been messy . It’s painful though

  52. A.... S....

    My first husband bought this album for me when we gotten married in February of 1979. He was killed in October of 1979 in car accident. Every time I hear this album, I think of us.

    A.... S....

    God bless his memory. My condolences to you

    A.... S....

    Damn That was Heavy....

    A.... S....

    @pamela patton what a crazy coincidence, I'm from ala too. Much love from ala

    A.... S....

    Sad .... but that's life my dear.

    A.... S....

  53. L.... P....

    Love this album

  54. D.... C....

    Me and my girl are breaking up, she's packing right now. I love her, but we aren't happy. This album will get me thru as alway. God Bless Marvin for this one.

    D.... C....

    Keep the faith, man, thumbs up!

    D.... C....

    Relationships are extremely hard to maintain in todays world. True love,unconditional love is so very hard to come by. Primarily because everything in today's world is driven by external beauty and not what resides inside the heart. True love,unconditional love can be beyond beautiful because it's internally. Wish both an abundance of love and blessings.

  73. B.... M....

    JAMAIS Égalé du grand marvin gaye

  74. M.... J....

    this album is so underrated. I love the two melodic lines at end of cut - brilliant - so gentle and beautiful!

  75. t.... ....

    you can live through music, music never dies!

  76. N.... A....

    His best album, for all those, who "only" are familiar with What's going On and Let's get it on, should dig into this gem. An album of great harmonies, FUNK (yes, check out Is that enough, time to get it together, funky space reincarnation) and awesome lyrics.

    N.... A....

    not many know about this album but true marvin gaye fans

    N.... A....

    This album is low-key GREAT!!! Not a lot of people know about it. But 'I Want You' is still the best Marvin Gaye album IMO....

    N.... A....

    @Ispeakthetruthify I have previosuly posted many of his albums (all eventually taken down by Youtube), but personally, I can never decide which is superior out of What's Goin' On, Let's Get It On, and the I want You albums, but I'm probably leaning towards I Want You these days. I'm just wondering if people know the history of this album, and how it was recorded (indirectly) by order of a judge.

    N.... A....

  77. M.... ....

    my guy marvin was smooth dim lights and hennessy while listening to this

  78. C.... K....

    hell when I hear things like this I just dont know how anyone in the world cant get it !

  79. r.... w....

    a true masterpiece!!! R.I.P. MARVIN!!!

    r.... w....

    Certainly !! And totally underraed

  80. D.... ....

    Some of the most beautiful music ever made! Marvin is the best! 

  81. S.... G....

    @TheDexter99991 Well when it came out back in the day, he didn't want it to be a hit and it wasn't. We were expecting to groove as usual, back then we were like, "what's up", who is he talking to b/c you didn't have the tabloids like today. So, it's funny that it's so popular now. (lol)

  82. j.... ....

    NOBODY can do it like MARVIN!!!!

  83. H.... ....

    i need some Cognac after this -____-

  84. B.... A....

    Marvin was the greatest soul singer and composer/songwriter.

  85. P.... O....

    First song to listen to fully of Hear my dear, and already I know this is an amazing album. Never heard anything so honest.

  86. a.... q....

    @pjaliverpool yeah your right, r.i.p marvin gaye x

  87. B.... ....

    @abyss1ner For me it's Marvin every time, and I think the Whats Going On album does it.

  88. a.... ....

    @Boblet233 also jay z's short lived group christon, maxwell, bilal, chico debarge, el debarge, and any saprano who sang in that lyrical style and content. when i listen to the elders i would ask who was better between curtis mayfeild and marvin. what u think? i know marvin on vocals but i think curtis on lyrics

  89. R.... ....

    @marvinaz09 maybe it's genetics???

  90. L.... s....

    Thats my favourite one from Marvin Gaye

  91. i.... ....

    My boy El DeBarge once said when his older brother Bobby was teaching him style of singing. He was told "Be like Marvin". And daggone it if both of those brothers didn't take heed.

  92. Z.... ....

    Marvin Gaye always had badass art work for his albums

  93. B.... ....

    @amodernromance John who?? ha ha

  94. a.... ....

    John Legend owes his career to Marvin Gaye.

  95. I.... M....

    ahhhhhhhhhhha this song is a sing a long song to me everyday

  96. s.... ....

    @marvinaz09 It's bullshit

  97. a.... q....

    @mjjcng8958 he does look like marvin alot maybe its a coincedence. who knows.

  98. a.... q....

    @mjjcng8958 I know that Marvin and Anna cheated, but i just dont believe Marvin would have sex with Anna's niece in order to make it look like thier own child. Marvins ex-wife janice said that he really did love his kids alot.

  99. B.... ....

    @marvinaz09 Just listen to the music ignore the jibes.

  100. a.... q....

    Everyone knows that anna and marvins first child was'nt thiers the kid was adopted. But i just read that marvin had sex with anna's niece in order to make it look like it was anna's and marvins kid. some one please tell me that is BULLSHIT!!
